Don't you just love 'em... a number of artists called togetherto draw for the greater good, or rather a greater crowd.Different art supplies, diverse styles and energy

The rarity of the group gig makes them quite special,breaking me out of Lone Wolf caricature artist mode and transformingme into a unique element of a select crowd pleasing super team!

In every group gig scenario there is that one personwho decides to get a caricaturefrom every artist- its a fun opportunity to see your cartoon interpretationof a particular face next to a variety of others.

Not to mention the variety of personal styles, different art supplies and techniques , strange and exciting new set upsn easels n things... fresh and exciting gig chatter and anti heckler pitter patter.. definitely an eye opener to see how others approach things,gives you some perspective on your own old n dusty routines...

As this holiday season fast approaches with alotmore of the larger corporate events, I look forward to slingin ink next toall my peers; those Ive enjoyed working with in the past and those I have yet to meetCheers!R

im talking 2006/07, dinosaur daze..The ISCA was the National Caricature Network,and I crossed the border to visit my brethren inVegas and in Orlandonot to mention trips to drawat some theme parks in Virginia and Cali.The are the inktastik treasures pillaged from foreign penson those adventures... as well as some digital internetsnipes at my visage

Well, its come and gone, the annual ISCA convention 2009, and I really felt its absence this year..I missed last years as well, but I was still reeling from 2 in a row, Vegas and Orlando. Now im 2 away and feel like the oddball hermit cousin, far and away from the family reunion.It was perfect timing.. the end of the park season... wham, right there the day after I cashed out the stands for the last time in 2009.Unfortunately it just wasnt in the cards this year... alot of the team went this year and I'm really looking forward to hearing about it from them all, living it vicariously through their snapshots, their artwork, their hoards of collected caricature treasures.

After writing this, I just had to paw through some of my own memories from past cons..enjoy!
